Mebaal (Mecobalamin)

Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamin) is an active form of Vitamin B12, essential for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. Unlike cyanocobalamin, Mecobalamin is readily utilized by the body and plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy neurological and hematological functions. It is commonly prescribed as a supplement in deficiency states and nerve-related disorders.

Main Uses

• Treatment of Vitamin B12 deficiency
• Management of peripheral neuropathy and diabetic neuropathy
• Supportive therapy for neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease)
• Treatment of megaloblastic anemia caused by B12 deficiency
• Promotes nerve regeneration and repair
• May help in chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia (adjunctive use)

Contraindications

Mecobalamin should be avoided or used with caution in patients with:

• Known hypersensitivity to Mecobalamin or other cobalamin derivatives
• Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (may worsen condition)
• Severe renal impairment (dose adjustment may be needed)
• Patients with suspected vitamin B12 deficiency due to folate deficiency (should be corrected first)
